Jamie Laing — Co-Founder
I’ve always had energy to burn, as a kid with ADHD, I wasn’t built for the classroom, but I thrived in sport and any environment where passion met action. From a young age, I knew that if I could focus that energy on something I truly loved, I could build something meaningful. That “something” was candy. In 2012, with little knowledge but relentless ambition, I co-founded Candy Kittens, a brand born from a childhood dream. Today, it’s one of Europe’s fastest-growing confectionery companies, built on bold flavour, big ideas, and a belief that sweets should be better in every way. Alongside that journey, I’ve spent over a decade in the entertainment world. That experience led me to create JamPot, a media company focused on producing innovative, engaging content while collaborating with the best talent in the industry. Most recently, I launched Tuckshop: A brand incubator helping creators and influencers turn their ideas into thriving businesses. We partner with talented individuals who have real communities behind them, and we help bring their brand visions to life with the experience we’ve built over the years. I’m always open to new conversations and collaborations. Feel free to reach out here, email (jamielaingteam@unitedtalent.com) or on social (@jamielaing) I’d love to connect
